Iglesia de Santa Ana

Elegant 16th-century church overlooking Plaza Nueva

Address Plaza de Santa Ana, Granada

This graceful Renaissance church stands at the foot of the Albaicín, overlooking Plaza Nueva. Designed by Diego de Siloé in the 1530s — the same architect behind Granada's cathedral — it blends a classical portico with a brick bell tower decorated with ceramic tiles that nod to the city's Moorish past. The interior is a single nave with a fine Mudéjar-style coffered ceiling.

The small square in front, Plaza de Santa Ana, is one of the pleasanter spots in central Granada to sit with a coffee and watch the Darro River flow past. The church is still active, so check opening hours before visiting.
